Discussion
Based only on the information provided in the above passage, which one of the following statements is true?
Answer: C
The true statement is the pocket-knife is described as the infant of the sword.
The passage lists the things one carries in one's pocket and names one: the pocket-knife, for instance the type of all human tools, the infant of the sword. Statement (C) repeats that description, so it is the only statement the text supports.
(A) misreads reflected, which here means thought about, not mirrored; no mirror is mentioned. (B) is not stated: the author planned a book of poems about the things in his pocket, and says only that the age of the great epics is past. (D) distorts the last sentence: the book would be too long, which is not the same as epics being inconvenient to write.
The question says to use only the passage, so outside knowledge about Chesterton or epics is not needed.
